Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge

Volunteers of America provides basic needs and gives hope to people with disabilities, families transitioning from homelessness, veterans who need a helping hand, abused and neglected children and teens, and many more in South Louisiana.

Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge has been a steady organization in South Louisiana assisting people in need since 1921. Our organization serves individuals in the Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Lake Charles areas. We are here to support abused and neglected children, youth at risk, the elderly, families, people with chronic mental illness or developmental disabilities, the homeless and many more.

We believe that meeting basic needs can be life-changing; that social programs don't have to be big, complicated, expensive or impersonal; and that human services are most effective when carried out in a spirit of kindness and caring.

We recognize a deep human need to express faith through action — to carry out God's will that we love one another. Our mission brings people together in service in a variety of areas; as donors and volunteers and through churches, schools, businesses, service clubs, and other nonprofit organizations.

Our vision is to engage the energy and spirit of the people of South Louisiana, to care for our neighbors who need help today, and to build healthier, more compassionate communities for tomorrow.
